Noble Discoverer (former Maersk Discoverer) rig; Source: Noble Corp According to CGX and Frontera, a total of 114 feet (35 meters) of net pay has been found at the Wei-1 well on the Corentyne block, approximately 200 kilometers offshore from Georgetown, Guyana. The well, located around 14 kilometers northwest of the joint venture’s previous Kawa-1 discovery, was safely drilled by Noble Corporation’s Noble Discoverer semi-submersible rig in a water depth of approximately 1,912 feet (583 meters) to a total depth of 20,450 feet (6,233 meters). The Wei-1 well targeted Maastrichtian, Campanian, and Santonian aged stacked sands within channel and fan complexes in the northern section of the Corentyne block. The joint venture’s data acquisition program at the Wei-1 well included wireline logging, MDT fluid samples, and sidewall coring throughout the various intervals. Based on this data acquisition program and additional information provided through the independent laboratory analysis process, Wei-1 test results confirm 13 feet (4 […]
